      Note
      Be aware if the delegated account is configured to be hidden from the Global Address list, then it will not appear in the search results list; however, you'll still be able to access it by typing the full email address (e.g. uaa_someaccount@alaska.edu), and clicking Open.
  6. A new window, or tab, will open with the selected mailbox.
